Any person who accepts the proposal through the different collection channels, declares specific to accept the contract, the responsibilities which derive from it and the consequences.
Fondify offers a simple, friendly and transparent space which converts the traditional form of resources’ collection in a different platform with different ways to collaborate with organizations of the civil society, which are changing the world.
The room is a microsite that the creator generates and that contains the following information of its organization of the civil society: category, foundation date, history, mission, activities, achievements, contact, amount of donors, collected funds and visitors, as well as the name of the benefactor companies and a gallery with images and videos about the creator’s progress. The contained information does not belong to Fondify. This content is exclusive responsibility of the creator.
To be able to create a room with us, it is necessary to validate your identity as association of the civil society, why will request some personal and legal data, as well as private documents, which are not going to be shared with thirds.
Fondify offers different ways to collect resources:
The donation is the contract by means of which the donor transfers to the contributor, in a free form a sum, this can be divided in donations of one sole payment and periodic donations.
The donations of one sole payment are those through which the donor realizes the payment of the sum he wants to the contributor for one single occasion or in the occasions the donor wants.
The periodic donations are those, which the donor realizes monthly, for the amount that he chooses, to one project or to the project that Fondify, at discretion, selects, this can be discounted directly from his bank account.
The donation allows the contributor to collect funds for his project. The donor can contribute any amount, at any moment to the contributor of his election. One can choose the periodic donation, which functions in the monthly form.
In the case the periodic donation is selected, the account from which the amount is going to be
discounted, must be indicated, the donation can be cancelled, 5 days before the donation amount is discounted.
Allow the creator to collect funds for very specific projects, placing a final goal and a time limit to collect. The sponsor can make small contributions in exchange of rewards, which the creator gives him in gratitude of his donation.
The process will be as follows, the creator will load the project into the platform requesting an amount, which he thinks is convenient, giving an explanation of how the money will be used and mentioning what gift will be given as gratitude, is it the case; a date limit will be set to collect the requested amount. The sponsors can make volunteer contributions to the project until the date indicated by the creator. In the case the amount is collected in the indicated time, Fondify will deposit the money in the account indicated by the creator during the five next days to the date limit; in the case the amount indicated by the creator is not collected, the collected amount will be paid in the same term. The creator is the sole responsible of the gift’s delivery as a way to thank the sponsors who have supported him, indicating them the delivery place, taking them to de sponsor’s selected address or how they, the creator and the sponsors decide.

Relation between the users who interact in Fondify’s platform
Relation between the parties who use the collection channels;
The parties who use the different collection channels, that is to say, the donor and the contributor; the creator and the sponsor; the salesman and the purchaser; the organizer and the assistant; the auctioneer and the bidder; the recruiter and the volunteer; and at last the recruiter, the school and the professional, declare and accept that they form a contractual bilateral bond and if they realize the contributions, they make it in a volunteer way. The parties will be ruled by what they themselves stipulate, and if any of the parts does not accept the others proposal, they must abstain to contribute with funds in the collection channel they are inscribed.
It is considered that the parties fulfill the contract when the donor hands down a possession to the contributor; the creator carries out his project with the resources which the sponsor brings and the creator delivers the reward which he promised to deliver; the salesman delivers the article to the buyer, previous payment of the last one; the organizer carries out the event and the assistant is present, previous payment, in case this is not free; the auctioneer delivers the auctioned possession to the best bidder; the recruiter realizes an activity with support of the volunteer for benefit to the society; and at last, the recruiter gives a professional service with the help offered by professionals assigned to a school.
If these assumptions do not come true, it will be considered that the persons who request funds have not fulfilled the obligation they had before the ones who realized the contributions. To repair the mentioned nonfulfillment, the parties who requested the funds, must realize the best possible effort to conclude the project, or being the case, realize the return of the funds previous explanation of the causes which avoided the fulfillment, give information how the funds were used and giving evidences they consider pertinent of the use of the funds. Fondify will collect the commission that corresponds, independent that the objective of the person who pretends to collect funds has not been fulfilled, because it is not Fondify’s obligation that the mentioned person has not been able to fulfill his objective.
The parties, as much as those who request funds, as those who realize the contributions, accept that unexpected changes in the project of the persons who pretend to request funds may be produced or in its case delays in the project’s conclusion. In these cases, the parties who pretend to get funds in the platform, will give an explanation to the persons who realized the contributions, what were the causes or the delay for the changes in the project, they must inform how the funds were used, with the proofs they consider pertinent, the person requesting funds may request Fondify a prorogation to be able to fulfill his objective, so the ones who realized the contributions will have the right to request information and ask questions they consider necessary, to those who obtained the funds and did not fulfill. Independent of the changes made to the project or in the case of delay, Fondify will collect the corresponding commission, because the changes or delays which are generated in the project are not Fondify’s obligation.
Fondify is not one part of this contract. The contract is a juridical agreement direct between the persons who intervene in the different collection channels. Fondify is not one of the parties in this contract, the unique obligation of Fondify is to realize the publicity of the persons who pretend to collect funds for a determinate project and once the funds acquired, Fondify will have the obligation to deliver them, previous commission’s collect.
The financial model that Fondify uses is All Helps, so all the collected is delivered to the persons who request funds, excepting Fondify’s commission. You will indicate the particulars of payment when you realize your contribution, in the case it is funds donation, the exact amount you have promised to give is the amount Fondify will collect.
In some cases we reserve the charge of your card. Fondify and its associated payment entities are able to authorize or reserve a charge in your credit card (or any other payment method used) for any amount to the total contribution.
In case do you not want to make that contribution or there has been some error in the number’s digitation, a refund can be received only if it is demanded during the next 24 hours, on the contrary we reserve the right to refund any amount.
